quote:A man who last year flew a plane with a "Free Sean Payton" banner over the New Orleans area was involved in a murder-suicide in California, according to WWL-TV, which cited media reports. CBS13 in Sacramento reported that Phillip Marshall, 54, shot and killed his two teenage children and the family dog before turning the gun on himself at the family's home in San Andreas, Calif.

The WWL report went on to say Marshall was the pilot of the aircraft that pulled a "Free Sean Payton" banner across the city and over the New Orleans Saints' training facility last year. The banner was in reference to the Saints head coach's suspension after the bounty scandal.
